SOURCE TYPE MINE
CAUSE: DUMPING
CAUSE INFORMATION: The EPA received an anonymous complaint on 7/13/13 telling them that the Star Mine in Ouray (directions above) was
dumping a white sludge into Canyon Creek in the early mornings. The very brief form received states that the release is
not still occurring. The complainant was concerned about fish and wildlife. I am copying Wally Erickson in the DRMS
(Mining) group, his phone is 970- 247 -5469, who is assigned to this area.
